"Put in a little more effort, and you'll be up there with just a little more push!"

"How can you guys be so useless? Put in more effort!"

"Almost there, oh dear, you good-for-nothing!"

There were four or five people carrying a long, cylindrical log.

A giant wolf was tied up in the middle of the log.

They were struggling to lift the giant wolf onto the back of a pickup truck.

Jemoka was frantically yelling at them to push harder.

Just as the giant wolf was about to be loaded onto the vehicle, someone ran out of strength, and the wolf's carcass fell off.

Jemoka let out an angry shout.

"If you can't even do this simple thing right, what use are you to me?"

None of the people who did the work dared to utter a word.

Jemoka added, "Don't just stand there, keep lifting. I'll lend a hand this time."

The group resumed their work, lifting the giant wolf's carcass once more.

As the body was slowly lifted, Jemoka gave it a push from underneath, and this time the body was easily loaded onto the pickup truck.

Jemoka clapped his hands dismissively.

These mutated creatures' bodies are certainly not clean.

After all, living things are living things, and they never take a bath like humans do.

Ji Xian was also curious when he saw Jemoka here.

He walked over and asked, "Mr. Jemoka, what are you doing here? Why do you need to do all this dirty and hard work yourself?"

Jemoka sighed, "If you can't rely on your subordinates, of course you have to lend a hand yourself. Making money isn't easy these days, all for the sake of earning more money for food resources."

Ji Xian raised an eyebrow. No one would believe that!

Ji Xian asked, "What are you doing moving these corpses?"

"Of course it was transported to the nutrient solution extraction plant. There's a nutrient solution extraction plant in City 1055, which is only a few dozen kilometers away from us. It's not difficult to get it there. These are all top-quality raw materials for nutrient solutions. It would be such a waste to just throw them away."

Ji Xian was speechless. Jemoka was even making money off this.

But looking at the corpses all over the city, it seems like they could make a fortune.

Ji Xian praised, "Congratulations on your fortune! Congratulations on your fortune!"

As he was speaking, Ji Xian felt his arm tighten.

Li Youmi is getting bolder and bolder, always daring to stick to Ji Xian's arm.

But he had been using a gentle touch all along, and this sudden exertion was a bit too much for Ji Xian to handle.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xian turned to ask Li Youmi.

Li Youmi pointed to a wrecked SUV that had just stopped by the roadside; it was so badly damaged that even the windows were gone.

There was a man and a woman sitting in the car.

The woman has short hair and looks capable.

The man had a fake eye that glowed red, and he didn't look like a good person at all.

Ji Xian frowned: "What's wrong? Is that your enemy?"

Li Youmi shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.

Why are you crying again? Ji Xian asked in confusion, "Explain yourself, who is that person to you?"

"Mommy, Mommy."

Ji Xian was shocked, never expecting to encounter Li Youmi's mother here.

This is absolutely fantastic news!

Ji Xian was about to let Li Youmi go find her mother herself.

As a result, Xia Luoxue stopped her.

"Don't go over there!"

Ji Xian and Li Youmi both looked at Xia Luoxue with confusion.

Ji Xian: "What's wrong? Why can't we go over there?"

Xia Luoxue said, "Look at her neck."

"What's wrong with her neck..." Ji Xian looked closely and saw that Li Youmi's mother was wearing a slave collar around her neck!

"Mom, Mom..." Li Youmi also noticed the thing on her mother's neck, but impulse overcame reason, and she couldn't care less about anything else. She was about to rush over to find her mother.

She had always thought her mother was dead, but when she saw her again, how could she not be impulsive?

Ji Xian forcefully pulled her back: "Don't be impulsive!"

"I'm going to find my mom."

Ji Xian frowned: "Aren't you listening to me anymore?"

Li Youmi immediately quieted down and nodded: "Listen."

"If you're going to listen to me, don't go over there yet. Let's see how things go first."

Li Youmi nodded obediently.

Li Lianfang got out of the car and went to a small vendor selling goods.

The vendor was a child who looked to be eleven or twelve years old.

Li Lianfang asked, "Do you have any anti-radiation medication here?"

The vendor nodded and took out a box filled with loose pills.

How many slices do you want?

Looking at the box full of pills, Li Lianfang asked, "How much does it cost to buy all of these medicines?"

The vendor's eyes lit up: "One energy point can buy two pieces. There are about fifty pieces here. I can give you a discount and sell them to you for only 25 energy points."

Li Lianfang paused.

"Could you make it any cheaper?"

The vendor said, "It's already very cheap, it can't be any cheaper."

Li Lianfang stopped and looked around, then saw another small vendor in the distance.

She went over and asked again.

The anti-radiation drugs sold by this small vendor are also two pills for every 1 energy point.

Li Lianfang was helpless.

These are all chemically synthesized pills, which are actually not expensive. She had bought them before; back then, it cost 1 energy point for three pills.

However, during this special period, the price has increased slightly; selling two tablets for 1 energy point is still the market price.

Li Lianfang wanted to buy some, but she didn't have enough energy points to buy even a few tablets.

She returned to the car and whispered to the black snake, "Could you give me some energy points? I'll find a way to pay you back later."

Black Snake sneered, "You were originally my slave, what's yours is mine, what you have the right to say you're giving it back to me."

Li Lianfang said, "I'm doing this to save people. Those slaves are all your property. I'm protecting your property. How can you be so cold-hearted?"
